Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virus removal in Kelso, Scottish Borders.
Every computer job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your computer. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Plenty of virus removal jobs in Kelso are sorted on the same day, during the visit or at our Edinburgh workshop. If a part is needed, we say how long it will take. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in TD5 — Bridge Street, Roxburgh Street, The Square — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD5 postcode area. That includes Bridge Street, Roxburgh Street, The Square, the Square, the Abbey side, the Tweed side, and the rest of central Kelso. You can drop it at our Edinburgh workshop, post it in, or book a home visit or a collection; in Kelso visits and collections are by appointment and a travel fee applies.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
No, your files stay where they are. We back them up first as a precaution, then remove the infection along with its start-up entries and anything installed alongside it. Files already encrypted by ransomware are the only exception, and we explain the options if that has happened.
Yes — though every ransomware case is different. For Kelso customers we follow a tested process: identify the strain, pull the network cable to stop spread, attempt decryption with public tools, and recover from the cleanest backup if needed. We never pay ransoms on your behalf. After cleanup we strengthen the device — Windows patches, AV with behaviour-based detection, and a quick review of what got in (usually email or a malicious download).
If your PC starts behaving differently — running hot, throwing pop-ups, redirecting Google searches, opening tabs you didn't click — there's a good chance something's there. Other red flags we see in Kelso: fans spinning hard at idle, your AV mysteriously disabled, or files appearing/disappearing. A clean Windows install is usually faster than a deep clean for badly infected machines, but we'll always assess and quote before taking that route.
Yes — "clean" isn't the same as "safe", so we don't stop there. After removing the active infection we patch the OS, update drivers, replace or repair any tampered system files, restore browser defaults, and verify Windows Defender (or your AV of choice) is fully active and up to date. For Kelso customers in TD5, this hardening pass is included in the standard cleanup price. If we used a clean Windows reinstall, your apps and data come back too.
